Making My Product
Lāʻau lapaʻau medicine and oils have been used for generations in traditional Hawaiian healing practices and offer natural remedies for various ailments. Here are 4 steps on how to make Lāʻau lapaʻau medicine and oils:
Growing & Gathering Ingredients: Begin by growing or collecting native plants such as noni, kī, and māmaki, ʻāʻaliʻi, and ʻōlena, as well as oils like kukui or macadamia nut.
Preparing Plants: Wash and dry the plants thoroughly before chopping, crushing, drying or boiling them to release their healing properties.
Infusion Process: Heat the oils in a double boiler and add the crushed plants, allowing them to infuse for several hours to extract their medicinal benefits.
Straining and Storing: Once the infusion is complete, strain out the plant material, mix and transfer the resulting oil into clean, airtight containers for storage and later use.
